Volvo Car AB completes EUR 500mm green bond issue without stabilization

LONDON - Volvo Car AB (ST:VOLCARb) has successfully issued a EUR 500 million green bond with a four-year term, as announced by J.P. Morgan SE, the stabilization coordinator. The offering, which was listed on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange, was not subject to any stabilization actions by the involved financial institutions, signaling strong market confidence in the automotive company’s credit.

The senior unsecured green bond was offered at 100.000% of its nominal value, with J.P. Morgan SE acting as the stabilization coordinator. Other banks involved in the management of the bond issue included Goldman Sachs Bank Europe, HSBC, and Morgan Stanley (NYSE:MS), all serving as stabilization managers.

Green bonds are a type of fixed-income instrument specifically earmarked to raise money for climate and environmental projects. The proceeds from these bonds are typically invested in projects that provide environmental benefits, such as renewable energy, energy efficiency, sustainable waste management, and clean transportation.

The lack of stabilization, a process where underwriters make market purchases to support the secondary market price of a new issue, suggests that the bond was met with adequate demand, negating the need for such measures. Stabilization activities are often employed to manage price volatility during the market entry of a new security.

This financial move by Volvo Car AB reflects a growing trend among corporations to fund environmentally friendly initiatives through sustainable finance instruments. Investors are increasingly seeking opportunities that align with environmental, social, and governance (ESG) criteria, and companies are responding by issuing green bonds and similar products.

The successful issuance of the bond without stabilization measures indicates a positive reception from investors and a robust appetite for sustainable investment opportunities.
